Holliava is good, but being the first bar everyone decides to go in there. Agree about the no food problem - never tried the Pizza over the road but the Potato Cakes at the station are fantastic after a belly full of Lager :) Anywhere that serves Fat Yak I'm in. Most Bars along Swan serve...

Personally I think it's a dumb rule, but it doesn't bother me - i'll just go do my drinking elsewhere. Bar 9T4, RCH, Beretta's Valcluse, Holliava, Cricketer's Arms, the Royal Hotel (classy joint) and the Post Office Hotel have no problems with colors as they are full of Rebels gear before and...

Sound advice :) I'm coming from the east and I'll i'll probably jump off the Train at East Richmond. Might be 5min extra walk but I can get to an ATM before hand and at squeeze in a few pints at he Swan/Valcluse/RCH/9T4. Note to the wise - I tried to get into the Precinct Hotel after the...

I heard the MCG is a sellout tonight, so expect all the public transport to be slow and the local bars to be chockers.

Agree with the no dickheads policy, but then again I think there is an element of madness if we decide to kick two star Wallabies to the curb. For the middle road I think they may need to look at which one is more malleable to change, perhaps a masterclass in 'how to be less of a dickhead and...

Attention: News Ltd at it again with their pot stirring: http://www.news.com.au/sport/rugby-gold/james-oconnor-and-his-best-mate-buddy-franklin-could-be-in-sydney-next-year/story-fndpt9s1-1226649494819 Apparently it's not just about the players; it's also about the budgie smugglers, rooftop...

Like I've said in previous postings I think it will be in Rugby's interest to maintain a good spread of Wallaby class talent accross all franchises; this includes keeping either JOC (James O'Connor) or KB (Kurtley Beale) at Melbourne and potentially recruiting another current Wallaby for the Force. It's important for the...

Congrats to both Luke and Tom on their re-signings. I think this shows faith in our youth investment and I look forward to the both of them tearing it up this weekend. My theory is if/when JOC (James O'Connor) and KB (Kurtley Beale) re-sign it will be it's won separate media circus. JOC (James O'Connor)'s obviously still considering his...

Not sure if anyone saw this in the Rebel's press release today announcing the team: I'll ask the obvious question and start the speculation on who they re-signings are. The term re-sign obviously means it's existing players, however it does seem rather positive they would underline the 'key'...

The Stadium is certainly terrific place to watch any code of Football. Certainly come a long way since it's opening match (AUS Vs NZ in a RL test) - plumbing hadn't been finished in the roof, massive rain storm, one very soaked League fan. Suffice to say there are no more soakings at AAMI...

Yep, fairly sure the Rebels vs BIL tour match is a sell out. Thank you 9-game Rebels membership for helping me avoid more ticket queues. Thought that was a fabulous idea by the Rebels management to sell tickets to the BIL tour match in this way. Think I better get there early on Friday as I...

One of the exciting things for me in this match is the classic VIC/NSW rivalry. I'm like most Victorians: I barrack firstly for Victoria and secondly anyone playing against NSW :) When these sides last met it was close and I expect it to be close again. Playing stocks may have changed, but...

I thin Gareth always planned to go back after this year. He was due to leave last year, but decided to extend his contract after his personal success and the team's success last year. Not sure how the KB (Kurtley Beale) thing sat with him, but if you're whacked by one of your teammates do you think you...

Lucky we just re-signed Pyle and Neville for another two years :) Jones is about to re-sign too, if the Fairfax rag is correct. I can see why you want them, Pyle especially is having a great year and Neville was in the Wallaby extended squad at various stages last year.

I thought they would have had adequate cover for those position in people like Rob Davies and Mike Harris? I think they would probably be running into salary cap problems soon if they tried to snag another big name. You also can't help but think Richard Graham would still have in the back of...

Did anyone see this article in the Australian? http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/rugby-union/coaching-review-may-see-hill-remain-at-rebels-in-understudy-role/story-e6frg7o6-1226644835015 Not trying to predict how things will go for Hill, but can you see him working as a understudy to...

His service from the scrumbase was outstanding last night. Kicking was OK and worked well with Bryce. All round good effort from the ranga. I thought Bryce did well on his debut, certainly held his own against good opposition and directed traffic well. Piggies were outstanding and worked...

Big indeed. Not only do we keep Jones, but with the re-signing of Horne and Izzy I can't see how they would fit KB (Kurtley Beale) under the salary cap. Firms up the case for him to stay in Melbourne.

Interesting news article hailing the arrival of Stirzaker and Bryce. One line got my interest: Article Link I'll look over the bit about a Hooker being called a Prop, but I didn't realize Saffy was sniffing around elsewhere. More news ltd pot stirring or is there some element of truth...

Fair enough. I thought he might have been in the mix for this match. The game I saw him in this year (think it was the Reds match?) he looked good. No doubt with the international season about to hit he will get his chance again. The Rebels site peg him as a fullback - does he play...
